Welcome to my website!

Up until December 2010, I was a accelerated masters student at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) in Daytona Beach, Florida, working on my Master of Science in Engineering Physics.

My Current Schedule Involves

Working on research for my thesis, Hot Flow Anomalies.

Being excited to live in Wickersham Hall (again).

Finding stuff to do in Fairbanks.

NASA Goddard internship/fellowship work - finding interesting things to do on trips out of the Prince George's Metro station.

Latest Fun Discoveries

I'm a better artist than I though I was!

I've learned to do ice sculpting in spring 2014 at the Fairbanks Ice Alaska Park. I started with a small tabletop sized dalek. It took 5 hours.

I was then invited to compete in the single block competition with an experienced sculptor (the competition with all the professional artists). I was incredibly nervous because I'd only ever done the one small sculpture pictured above. It was a 60 hour competition, 2 person teams. http://www.icealaska.com/en/component/zoo/item/sb_site-48-2014.html

Dominion: a strategy card game with medieval themed cards - not something I'd ever picture myself playing (I can't stand to associate myself with Lord-of-the-Rings-Harry-Potteresque movies/books) but it actually is a lot of fun and thinking.

My ERAU Schedule

Working on research for my thesis, A Statistical Study of the Turbulence in the Magnetospheric Cusp,

Being a Resident Advisor in Apollo Hall

Finding things to do in Daytona Beach.

This website was created as I neared the end of my masters thesis writing as a means to showcase my awards, activities, and personality to graduate schools/potential PhD advisers. As a result, most of the information here is academic/resume related. It is why the CV page is the most up-to-date. I am in the process of updating the site to include more of my non-academic life. This updating process is started at http://christinachuopinions.webs.com/
